2. Another is, forgiveness of sins; that essential propension in God to pardon sin, to pass by transgression, to blot out iniquity, and never to remember 1sin any more. This is the Attribute of God, which is his great glory, and his great delight, and our only hope and life. There is a depth in this mercy, more than that in the Sea, and a height in this mercy, above all the thoughts of men; and a breadth in this mercy; it can pardon many sins, great sins, abundant sins; and a length in this mercy; it is everlasting, and endures for ever: This is the mercy, or mercifulness of God! And to enjoy God in this Attribute (as our merciful God, as pitying, as pardoning us, as forgiving and forgetting all our sins, and never remembering them any more) O what a comfort, what a settling, what a joy, and a rest is this!
